Telluride

Telluride is located in southwest Colorado's majestic San Juan Mountains. What began as a turn-of-the-century mining community has evolved into a world-renowned resort. Located on the scenic San Juan Skyway in southwest Colorado, the City of Telluride and Telluride Mountain Village are 67 miles south of Montrose, where there is a regional airport. The town of Telluride is a National Historic Landmark District with Victorian-era architecture. Located at the base of Telluride Ski Mountain and surrounded by 13,000-foot (almost 4,000-meter) peaks. Telluride is connected to the Mountain Village by a free gondola, which runs day and evening. Located mid-mountain at 9,500 feet above sea level, the Mountain Village overlooks some of Colorado's most magnificent peaks and offers many options for ski-in, ski-out lodging.
